Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism by Harsha Walia

dark informative medium-paced

4.0

A wide-ranging survey of border regimes the world over. Walia shows how borders extend beyond walls to encompass the laws, surveillance, and migrant labor programs; how they deploy violence and arbitrary yardsticks of "deserving" in service of racism, authoritarianism, and corporate greed. Borders and migration were topics that I haven't really dug deep in, and Border & Rule was a searing introduction.
